The Arlington Police Department has welcomed a new batch of officers into its ranks, celebrating the graduation of Academy Class 70 with a social media announcement.
In their post, which was published last Saturday, the Arlington Police Department listed all 37 names of the new officers who are to begin their careers. The excitement was evident in their message, infused with a palpable sense of pride: "We wish you all the best as you begin your careers serving our great community!!" This sentiment, while the officers prepare to shoulder the responsibilities of their roles, reflects the department's commitment to 'Service Before Self,' a motto they proudly hashtagged.
The graduates are diverse individuals, a hopeful representation of the community they are set to serve. The list includes Officer Alvarado, Officer Araujo, and Officer Briggs, reaching to Officer Wright and Officer Xiong. In recognizing these officers, the department also acknowledges the vitality of upholding the #AmericanDreamCity, an ideal that Arlington embodies.
